1st project day

We had a great first project day. I really feel blessed by the people God has placed in this project. Project group is kind of like a canvas group or small group. We did a lot of get to know you things in the morning and looking at goals and visions. Then we spent some amazing time in prayer. In the afternoon we worked on scraping paint off of the putt putt golf course. It was a great day! That night we took a large group (little to large) to Old Man Mountain (a cave like experience). I had forgotten how tight some of the cave was. It was a fun day though and I am looking forward to more great days like it.

Day Off

The first picture is the first day I was here and the second picture is today.

Today is my day off. I know crazy I get to be in this beautiful place and have a day off too! I planned to spend some time hiking but well it has been just so much more inviting to stay inside by the fire. So that has been where I have been most of the day. It still has been very nice. Kind of feels like winter. The first day I was up here shorts and a t-shirt where great but now I am all about warmth and layers.

And it all starts

To day was an amazing day. I was in staff meetings all day but it was so exciting to hear the hearts of the other staff and to catch a vision for this summer. It did not feel like we were in meetings the whole day. Well we did take a break from the meetings in the afternoon and did a little rope course. It was a lot of fun and brings something great out in people. You really get to know people in a different way. I feel very connected with people here and I feel like I have a lot in common with a lot of the other staff, to be a part of helping students grow in there relationship with God and life changing experiences the Lord has for them and rest. In a way it was encouraging to hear others needing the rest too. I felt a little selfish about that but I don't feel alone in it anymore and i feel at peace about wanting that and needing it. The students show up tomorrow! I am so excited for that, not sure what the Lord has planned but one thing i know it is going to be better then i could ever imagine.

The start of a new adventure

Los Angeles

Estes Park

Well I finally made it. It is a little crazy to be here again. It was kind of a crazy trip getting here but wow it is amazing. I spent my morning by a river and then went hiking in the afternoon. I think it is going to be easy to get uses to this. The next couple of day will be busier as we do orientation and the students start showing up but I am looking forward to that too.
